King's College And Mr. Maurice: No. 1 The Facts (1854)

""King's College and Mr. Maurice: No. 1 The Facts"" is a book written by John Malcolm Forbes Ludlow in 1854. The book focuses on the controversy surrounding the appointment of Frederick Denison Maurice as a professor at King's College in London. Maurice, a well-known theologian and social reformer, had been accused of holding unorthodox religious views and was subsequently dismissed from his position. Ludlow, a friend and supporter of Maurice, wrote this book to present the facts of the case and argue for Maurice's reinstatement. The book includes a detailed account of the events leading up to Maurice's dismissal, as well as transcripts of the speeches and letters exchanged between Maurice and the college administration. Ludlow also provides a broader context for the controversy by discussing the state of religious and philosophical thought in mid-19th century England. He argues that Maurice's dismissal was not only unjust but also symptomatic of a larger problem within the Church of England. Overall, ""King's College and Mr. Maurice: No. 1 The Facts"" is a historical document that sheds light on an important moment in the history of the Church of England and the intellectual climate of Victorian England. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of theology, education, and social reform in 19th century Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
